Do you mean the entire system, or just the X server? > #nvidia-settings -V > ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run 'nvidia-settings --help' The nvidia-settings applet is an X program and thus requires a running X session. I assume you are running it from a console, since X crashes? If you type 'X' from a console (instead of startx) does the crash still happen?
